- Once the oven has preheated, it will beep twice, display “Ready”, countdown for 10 seconds and then beep once to give you time to insert your food. Open the oven Door. Place the Grill onto the grill/Griddle Rack and place hens on the Grill, then insert the Probe into the breast of the largest bird before sliding them into Position 1. Close the oven Door to begin cooking Stage 1 to an internal Probe temperature of 130˚F.

- Open the oven Door and remove the hens, leaving the Probe in to monitor carryover cooking to 165°F. When the carryover target temperature is reached, the oven will beep three times and display “END”.
